Spinach and Celery Leaf Salad with Grainy Mustard Vinaigrette
I would give my right arm to know what happens to the celery leaves chopped off the tops of packaged "celery hearts" sold at supermarkets. Celery leaves are wonderful additions to salads. Their tender texture and yellow-green hue add delicate celery flavor and pair well with apples, mustard, and blue cheese. Prep: 20 minutes; Stand: 10 minutes.
Yield: Makes 6 servings (1/2 cup vinaigrette)
